To me gambol is synonomous with frolic.

the word always makes me think of the phrase "lambs gamboling through the fields" which in turn makes me think of sort of a playful galloping fun thing.

So I guess I would use "bit of a gambol" in the same sort of sense as "bit of a lark"- something you do for fun which is maybe a bit silly but what the heck.

is it when sheep skip through a field?

It's not a word I have used or seen used very much...more of a literary thing, I guess. But I think of it as a long walk through the woods or countryside at a leisurely pace.

Hurrah! You got the definition I was hoping for. As you'll see in my 'results' post, it generally manes frolicking about but round here it has a definite meaning of 'forward roll' which it doesn't in the rest of the country/world :)
